Robin AI Pricing: Cost, Plans, and What Changed
Short answer: Robin AI does not publish a price, and the figures that circulate disagree by an order of magnitude. Third-party sites report anything from about $500 a month to $40,000 to $80,000 a year for enterprise deployments, and the vendor's own AWS Marketplace listing shows an illustrative $100,000 annual platform fee plus $2,500 per user, while stating that real pricing comes only through a private offer. The company also changed shape in late 2025: it failed to close a funding round, sold its managed services division to Scissero, and lost engineers to Microsoft. Its website and marketplace listing are still live under the shorter name "Robin," so treat any quote as a negotiation that starts with vendor stability, not with the seat price.
That is a less satisfying answer than a number, but a number would be made up. This guide separates what is verifiable from what is only reported, then gives you a checklist for the part that matters more than the price: whether the vendor will still be there for the length of the contract. It is software evaluation, not legal or procurement advice.
How does Robin AI sell its software?
Robin AI sells through a demo. The vendor's own site offers "Request Demo" and "Get a Demo" buttons and no pricing page. Our directory records the tool as "pricing on request," which is the plain description of a demo gate. You can see the entry at Robin AI in our directory.
What the product does matters for how it is priced. Robin AI started as a contract review assistant: playbook-driven redlining inside Microsoft Word, with an optional human review layer on top. We cover that history in Ivo vs Robin AI. By 2025 the company was positioning itself differently. Its about page says that in 2025 it created "a new category of legal technology: the Legal Intelligence Platform," and its platform page describes search across a contract corpus, obligation tracking, compliance checks, and live contract editing. A platform that holds your whole contract database is priced differently from a Word add-in, usually with a base fee plus a charge per user.
That structure shows up on the one place where the vendor does print numbers.
What does the vendor list on AWS Marketplace?
The vendor has a listing on AWS Marketplace, sold by "Robin," with a 12-month contract table. It lists two charges:
| Charge | Listed amount for 12 months |
|---|---|
| Annual platform fee | $100,000 |
| Annual fee per user license | $2,500 |
Read the fine print before you quote that to anyone. The listing says the prices are illustrative only and do not reflect actual pricing, which is provided on request through a private offer. It also advertises discounts for longer commitments, with the 24-month and 36-month contract tabs promising savings of up to 50% and up to 67%. Those are marketplace ceilings, not a rate card.
What the listing does reveal is the shape of the deal. Under that structure you pay a fixed fee for access and then add a charge for every named user. A team of five and a team of fifty share the same base cost, which makes the platform expensive for small teams and relatively cheap per head for large ones. If the illustrative numbers are anywhere near the real ones, a five-person team would be looking at the platform fee plus five licenses before any discount. That is a calculation on a placeholder, so use it only to understand the structure.
What do buyers report paying?
Published reports on Robin AI cost conflict, which is itself the finding. Here is every figure we found on pages we could open, with its source named. None of these come from Robin, and all of them should be treated as reported rather than confirmed.
| Source | Reported figure | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Genie AI comparison page | Starting around $500 a month for small teams, enterprise based on volume | A rival vendor writing the comparison, so check it |
| Legal Tool Index | Reported from around $500 a month | Same ballpark, may share a source |
| Layer3 Labs guide | A self-serve Reports tier near $5,000 a year; enterprise deployments $40,000 to $80,000 a year | The guide itself says earlier estimates may be outdated |
| AWS Marketplace listing | $100,000 platform fee plus $2,500 per user, 12 months | Labelled illustrative by the vendor |
Notice what these numbers imply. $500 a month is $6,000 a year, which sits close to the $5,000 figure for a small tier. Then the next figure jumps by roughly seven to thirteen times for enterprise, and the marketplace placeholder is higher again. That is consistent with a vendor that sells a small entry tier and then negotiates large, custom enterprise deals, but we cannot confirm that from the outside.
Two other things to treat carefully. Some review aggregators list Robin AI with a free tier or a "$0" starting price. We could not open those pages ourselves this week, and an empty pricing field is easy to render as a zero. And the wide spread says something about the category too: we found the same demo-gate pattern across most contract tools, which is why we wrote the legal AI pricing guide.
What has changed at the company?
This is the part most pricing pages skip, and for a multi-year contract it is the part that matters most. Everything here is reported, with sources.
- October 2025: Artificial Lawyer reported that Robin AI was laying off staff after disappointing growth, following a report in Sifted of a failed funding round. It said the company had told the publication in March that 2024 revenue had roughly doubled to around $10m, after around $50m of venture funding across 2023 and 2024, and that headcount had peaked near 200.
- December 2025: the managed services business, the human review layer that set Robin apart, was bought by Scissero, according to Legal IT Insider.
- January 2026: the same outlet reported that Microsoft had hired several former Robin AI engineers and product staff into its Word team. A Microsoft spokesperson was quoted as saying the company has no plans to acquire Robin AI.
Against that, the vendor's own website is still up. It still takes demo requests, still lists a Trust Center and security page, and shows a footer dated 2019 to 2025. The most recent item in its news and resources section that we saw was dated November 2025. A live website does not tell you who is operating the software, how large the team is, or who answers your support tickets.
So is "Robin AI" the same product as "Robin"? The vendor's site and marketplace listing both use the shorter name, and the marketplace page links back to robinai.com, so they appear to be the same business. We could not find a formal rename announcement, so confirm that in writing. For the wider pattern of name changes and sales in this market, see our acquisitions and rebrands tracker.
What should you confirm before signing?
If you are weighing Robin, or any contract AI vendor, before a multi-year term, settle these six questions first. They matter more than the discount you negotiate.
1. Who owns and operates the product today? Ask for the legal entity that signs the contract and the entity that employs the engineers who maintain the software. After a restructuring, those are not always the same company. Get the answer in the order form, not on a call.
2. How long is the company funded? You are not entitled to a balance sheet, but you can ask whether the vendor is profitable or funded through a stated date. A vendor that cannot answer a funding question for a three-year deal has told you something.
3. Can you export everything, in a usable format, at any time? Contracts, extracted metadata, playbooks, obligation records, audit logs. Ask for a sample export during the pilot, not at termination. Data you cannot leave with is a lock-in you pay for annually.
4. What are your termination rights if the vendor is acquired, winds down, or stops supporting the product? Look for a right to terminate with a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees on a change of control or a material cut in service. Annual prepayment against a vendor with an uncertain future is where buyers lose money.
5. What happens to your data if the vendor fails? Ask where it is stored, who the subprocessors are, how it is deleted, and whether any escrow or transition assistance exists. Ask for the current security attestations too. A SOC 2 report is described by AICPA as an independent examination of a service organization's controls, so ask for the report itself and its date, not just the badge on a website.
6. Is the price locked at renewal, and for how long? A low entry price that resets at renewal is common in this category. Ask for the renewal cap in writing and for the per-user rate at higher seat counts.
Put these questions to every vendor on your shortlist, not just Robin. They are the same questions we recommend in how to evaluate legal AI tools. A strong vendor will answer all six without hesitation. A reluctant answer to any one is a risk you can price or walk away from.
Which alternatives publish a price?
If a published price is a hard requirement, the contract review category has a few tools that print one. These come from our directory, which records each vendor's own pricing line:
| Tool | Directory pricing line |
|---|---|
| Genie AI | Free plan; Pro $75/month; Enterprise from $600/month |
| Gavel | Gavel Exec free tier (25 queries); paid tier $160/user/month |
| Paxton AI | $499/user/month or $2,999/year; custom enterprise pricing |
Others, including Ivo, Spellbook, and Luminance, are demo-gated just like Robin. Juro quotes by monthly contract volume. For a longer look at the tool that publishes tiers, read our Genie AI review.
Published pricing does not make a tool better. It does mean you can budget before you talk to a salesperson, and it narrows the field of vendors that could surprise you at renewal.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Robin AI cost?
Robin AI does not publish a price. Third-party sources report figures from around $500 a month for small teams to $40,000 to $80,000 a year for enterprise, and the vendor's AWS Marketplace listing shows an illustrative $100,000 annual platform fee plus $2,500 per user, stated to be illustrative only. Actual pricing is provided through a private offer. Treat every number as a starting point for a quote.
Is Robin AI the same as Robin?
Probably. The vendor's website and marketplace listing use the name "Robin," the marketplace page links to robinai.com, and the site footer still shows Robin AI Limited. We found no formal rename announcement, so ask the vendor to confirm the contracting entity and product name in writing before you sign.
Does Robin AI have a free trial?
Some review sites list a free tier or a free trial. We could not verify that from the vendor's own pages, which route visitors to a demo request. If you need a trial, ask for one in the first sales call and ask what it includes, how long it lasts, and what happens to the data you upload.
What are Robin AI alternatives with published pricing?
In our directory, Genie AI, Gavel, and Paxton AI each publish a pricing line, listed in the table above. Most of the rest of the contract review category, including Ivo, Spellbook and Luminance, sells through a demo. The full list is in the contract review category.
